He studied there three years under Nadia Boulanger, and then returned to New York for his first commission. He titled it "Symphony for Organ and Orchestra," and it premiered in at Carnegie Hall in 1925 (Chew)
He said of composers who tried to also conduct their own work, "In most cases these two musical functions -- composing and conducting -- are quite distinct one from the other. There are few more pitiable sights than to watch a gifted composer trying to lead an orchestra through his own composition with only the foggiest notion of how to get what he so desperately wants from the massed musicians before him" (Copland)

He also wrote numerous piano concertos, smaller pieces, and two sets of "Old American Songs," which were arrangements of traditional folk tunes "that became so popular in their piano and orchestral versions as to eclipse the original melodies on which they were based" (Hampson)

With this move the pattern of his life became established -- residence in or near New York was interspersed with frequent sojourns in Europe, Mexico, Hollywood, South America, and the Far East" (Hansen 307)
Slideshare (2014) England Demographic Transition It is reported that the Industrial Revolution occurred in England from 1760 to 1800 and that this was characterized by a large population growth in England that occurred very quickly with the demographic transition pinpointed to the year 1890 meaning there was a 110 gap in between the Industrial Revolution and the Demographic Transition in England. (Clark, 2010, paraphrased) There is reported to have been a significant decline in net fertility in England among wealthy men in the 1760s when rich men with fertility of more than four children changed to one of three or less however, this change resulted in the fertility rate being no different than the general population
In several instances, people are one's most valuable resources, and a sharing of information between educators can prove highly influential in the spread of knowledge and techniques for the improvement of learning. Such environments, in which "teachers support each other" via "collegial networks across schools" (Copland, Knapp, 2006, p
What appears as one of the most efficacious learning systems for a reflective practitioner to utilize then is known as double-loop learning, in which learning systems are regularly reflected upon and analyzed to find varying methodologies in which they can be improved. In all actuality, double loop learning relates heavily to Schon's theories about the transformative nature of learning systems, for the simple fact that it allows one "to question governing variables" (Smith, 2009) of a particular learning system itself
This is illustrating how the field of conflict resolution can transform the way the various sides are looking at a host of events and their underlying meaning. (Lederach, 2012) Give examples relevant to one of the two cases we've discussed in class during this period Cyprus or Northern Ireland A good example of this conflict can be seen in Northern Ireland
These areas are showing how moral imagination changed the overall scope and intensity of the conflict. (Lederach, 2012) (McCartney, 1992, pp

"The animal consciousness, the purely sensuous being, is entirely subject to causal determination" (McCormick, 2004), according to the interpretation of this approach by Kant

In Carole Pateman's article "Democratizing Citizenship: Some Advantages of a Basic Income" (Politics and Society), (Pateman, 2004), Carole Pateman advocates that all people should receive a "basic income" -- the payment of a "regular sum by a government to each individual (citizen) over an adult life-time, with no conditions attached
" Invoking Carole Pateman's Philosophy Philosopher Carole Pateman writes a great deal about the "social contract" that is part of living in our society, and sometimes juxtaposes it with her own philosophy presented in her book, The Sexual Contract. Pateman, according to a review of The Sexual Contract in Signs (Shanley, 2001), along with Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, holds the view that "Human beings realize that in order to preserve their lives they must substitute the ordered liberty of civil society or living under government for life in 'the state of nature'
